being under 18 will my mom need to be there to sign me out of the hospital after I have my baby?

@jaleasa88, thanks!!

sounds like in your state you might have too just make sure you know ev everything you need to know and good luck with your pregnancy and labor 😊

@chela915, @jaleasa88 when I was goin to my doctors appointments my gma signed for Me once and after that I didn't need her anymore and I just went to the hospital for false labor pains and I was with my sister not my mom

@mommyanddude, i didnt say she was i said if it was correct but to still ask that it never hurts to ask

@chela915, in a lot of states yes, being pregnant means that medically they are in charge of themselves. that's how it was for me at 16 in alabama, but then I moved back to my hometown in Ohio, not far from where this girl lives. I walked into the ER and gave them all my medical records and told them what was wrong and they made me sit in a room and wait till they could call my dad. when in alabama, I was hospitalized for 3 weeks and he never knew it. in Ohio her parent or guardian still needs to give the hospital consent to treat her in any way.

but in most states once the underage girl gives birth and is no longer pregnant she's no longer in charge of herself medically and they have to go back to asking parents for permission to treat her.

I was 17 with my first child and my mother didn't have to but I would just ask to make sure

to my understanding you dnt need a parent to sign for you. I work for a nurse line and we don't need authorization unless they have no kids and are nt pregnant. But maybe am wrong.

@carlismommy12, Ohio

@lilyandkaidynsmommy, @mom13 in the state of Ohio an underage girl is not medically emancipated while pregnant.

in Ohio yes she will be. having a baby underage does not make you an adult, it most states being pregnant makes you medically emancipated (meaning you're in charge of yourself medically.) but no in the state of Ohio.

what state are you from?

Ik in nc u have 2 b signed out tell ur 18

if @lilyandkaidynsmommy is right about the medical emancipated then shes right but also like@lil_bigmama said ask your doctor never hurts to ask if your not sure on something

I don't see why

@amorasmom, oh OK talk to your doctor and see like @lil_bigmama different states do different things so make sure you ask

You're medically emancipated so no

16 @lillady @mom13

Ull have 2 ask ur dr that 1 every state is different

I am asking the same question @lillady did

you are consider an adult now. She doesn't have to.
